Cliff,
Total of 66 registered. Used to tow 3.7-inch HAA (mobile mount) guns, 155mm M1917 & M1918 guns, and sundry other tasks requiring a medium gun tractor. Disposed of shortly after the end of the war, in favour of retaining the Mack 6x6. There were a couple in use at a quarry near Geelong, one configured as a crane the other as the quarry ANFO truck (but pensioned off - no longer considered 'safe' by the then-current standards). The ex-crane truck rolling chassis ended up with Bob Dimer in Perth, to be used as the base for his AEC ACV hull. Don't know what happened to that project after Bob passed away.
